The kind of thing which makes you say “how could they possibly have thought this was a good idea?”

    I once saw a billboard that only had text and a picture of some guy.

    The text read “You can’t block this ad”

    It made me so irrationally angry and I still to this day don’t even know what they were advertising for.

      I’d guess it would be the owner of the billboard advertising the space. I’ve definitely seen that before, often accompanied by a “x thousand people see this every day!” type message.

        Advertising advertising is one of the most hilarious things to me.

        I hate ads on principle but an ad for an ad is just a level of debauchery I can barely fathom

      Ooh, I saw something like that once. What they haven’t considered is that you could just cover it up. Hey presto, blocked.
